    Your best bet for proof of ongoing relationship is communication transcripts, such as texts, call logs, etc. You need to focus on evidence that shows what has happened, not may be happening, as @Edward and Jaycel said. What would happen if you submit this info but then for some unforeseen reason the trip doesn't happen? Best to avoid entirely at this point and save it all for further evidence at the interview stage.

    I sincerely doubt you would get AP before the end of this month...

    Just my opinion: 1) I personally wouldn't consider basic safety as specialized training. 2) From what I've read, specific to this question, it is asking about organizations of political/religious connections.

    That is likely it.

    Can you post a copy of the letter with personal info redacted?

    Not true. How are you funding your trip, getting there, duration of stay and returning? What do you have planned while in the US? Would be a red flag for a family vacation from India to US to not have some sort of planned excursions or contact details/address of where you will be staying. Both very relevant to a tourist visa.
  19. smilingstone
    It doesn't matter what you think is relevant to a tourist visa. They want more detail so, unless you don't want your family to travel, you need to give them the information they have asked for. If certain points don't apply, as in the person has never conducted research and does not intend to conduct research, then say as much. It isn't possible to advise you what to say on each point as only you and your family are privy to your backgrounds. I only advise that you are fully transparent and provide as much detail as possible - too much info is better than not enough.
  20. smilingstone
    The points aren't irrelevant if they have asked you for information on them. You should include information on every point, your full resume of education and employment background. Have you worked or studied in biological, chemical, nuclear research, AI, GPS, etc? It is a routine request for people in STEM fields as you could be regarded as a security risk.

    You were unlawfully present so you check YES.

    It's used for many things. If it says to complete it, then you should probably complete it...

    Just provide evidence of all the other ties you mentioned in lieu of the employment. Same advice here during Trump administration as with any other administration.

    Imagine prioritising your job over your homeless children.
  26. smilingstone
    Probably.

    That was my point. Before my K1, I had a valid ESTA and used it to visit my now-husband. Once my 129F had been filed, approved and sent to NVC, it was all in the system and it was a risk (albeit low, for me) to travel at that stage as CBP could see my immigrant intent. However, I went to the POE fully loaded with evidence that I would return (employment, property lease, etc). The application in itself does not affect things, she will not face denial purely because she applied for/gained a tourist visa. It is all about how it is perceived. If your MIL is ever asked at B1-B2 stage if she plans to immigrate to the US, she must be honest.
  28. smilingstone
    My guess is that it would be similar logic to gaining an ESTA and then subsequently applying for an immigrant visa. Yes, the immigrant intent can muddy things, but as long as there is appropriate evidence to show that she will return, there is usually not much to worry about.
